"The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love." (1 John 4:8 NASB) Anyone who does not love has never been introduced to, or become acquainted with, God. They do not know God as He truly is. But we are born of God through the new birth and therefore...

The last instance of the word “deliver” in Psalm 91 is found in verse 15-16. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation. This final...
